Press the brake pedal, shift the gear lever down to D (Drive), then push the lever to the right to enter manual mode. At this point, you can use the paddle shifters to manually shift gears. The '+' paddle represents upshifting, while the '-' paddle represents downshifting. When going uphill, use D- to downshift for greater torque and more powerful output. If the power is insufficient, you can switch to S (Sport) mode. When going downhill, shift up to D2 or D3 using D+ to utilize engine braking for better control.
